Goals in focus for patriotic punters
England's World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan at Wembley on Saturday should simply be about how many goals rather than the result, the bookmakers have suggested.

Fabio Capello's men are best-priced 1/14 at Boylesports to grab the victory, while the visitors can be backed at 50/1 despite confirmation that England's captain and defensive lynchpin John Terry will miss the game with a back injury.

Paddy Power is offering 2/5 for England to score three or more goals, while punters more confident about how many the hosts will net can get 3/1 at William Hill for them to find the target exactly three times.

Skybet is also focused on three goals, offering 8/1 on all three England forwards - Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey and Theo Walcott - scoring.

However, with Capello keeping his line-up secret until shortly before kick-off, Peter Crouch, recalled to the squad after missing the 4-1 win in Croatia, has been backed in to 8/1 at Paddy Power to open the scoring.

England are now best-priced 12/1 with Centrebet to not only qualify, but to actually win the 2010 World Cup.
